dANGER boy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just wondering if there are any plans to make part 3 of the awesome OCR torrent compilation, such as OCR01901 to OCR02000, or something like that? Keep up the awesome work, as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 A complete update to the archive torrent with correct tagging for all mixes is underway. It has taken the backseat to other stuff but Larry's tagging away. This update will probably be pretty much all tracks up to the date it's released.

Thin Crust Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I've never used torrents before. I've always done the direct download for every song on OCR. Well, I have a new computer and a broken MP3 player so I need to get them all again and I'm not doing it the same long method. So basically, I'm looking for some help. I downloaded bittorrent which tells me to just copy paste a torrent address in the search bar and it will download the files all on it's own. It's not working. Well.... I guess it is, but it says that it is downloading at 15B/s. At this rate, it would take a year to download. Can someone give me an easy explanation on what to do? Thanks.

DarkeSword Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Download a BitTorrent client like uTorrent and run your torrents in that. I've never heard of copying a .torrent file into the search bar. That seems silly and I don't know why anyone would tell you that. http://www.utorrent.com/documentation/beginners-guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I get one of these. When I click on the search, it takes me to a web search. You notice that it then tells me to download the torrent off of the site. Whenever I try to download it, it goes at the 15B/s rate. then what?

Bahamut Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 What you do is download the associated .torrent file from http://bt.ocremix.org you want to grab the files of, and then you open it with the torrent program like utorrent. It will then ask you where to save the files, and then it will start downloading/uploading the content associated with the .torrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will then ask you where to save the files, and then it will start downloading/uploading the content associated with the .torrent. And these associated files are really small right? Like 13 kB right? Why is it that every associated file I try to download goes at the slowest rate I have ever seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah, they are small and should download really fast - you can also save the .torrent files where ever you desire and open it from that location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 And I'm right when I say that the associated files are those handsome little green "Download Torrent More torrents at http://bt.ocremix.org" links at the top right of the album pages on OCR? It's been 20 minutes and the speed has decreased to 2 B/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The problem must be on your end or your ISP's end then - I just downloaded one virtually instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The problem must be on your end or your ISP's end then - I just downloaded one virtually instantly. Well I am at school with only fair signal strength. But that shouldn't matter because I can still download everything else very quickly...even specific OC remixes. Sigh. Maybe it will work tomorrow. EDIT: Just tried again. It instantly downloads 2.5 kB and just stops. Lucky me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 A lot of school networks limit torrent speeds or exclude them altogether. Maybe that's the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Did you install uTorrent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 yeah school networks like to block files named *.torrent if you're having trouble just downloading the torrent file, things aren't looking good for you being able to use this method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemos Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Recently my wife let I-tunes handle my music library, for most of the non-ORC music it's ok, but, it put all my OCR music in a folder named "http://ocremix.org" This caused many other programs to barf. Windows no longer considers this a folder and will not let me access the data (it think it's a GIANT URL link) renaming the folder to a non-url (OCR) did not fix the issue and and all I could do is delete the file. (I'm not gonna pay for a file recovery to get all the near 1800 files as a free one can't get but a hundred or so) I'm was also behind on the songs by a few hundred, and was hoping to just DL via the torrent. any idea on when it'll be updated, or should I just start the torrent and hammer the bandwidth of the various hosting sites for the almost 300 not in the torrents? (torrents stop at 1900, last song numbered at 2186) Edit: If I sound mean, I've just been in the middle of re-sorting my library so other programs (like win 7 media sharing) can work with it sanely.

Given what happened, I'm surprised that 1. iTunes did that in the first place (programmed an invalid directory), and 2. No one else has brought that up before. Not implying it's untrue, just surprised this is the first I've heard of it. I'm was also behind on the songs by a few hundred, and was hoping to just DL via the torrent. any idea on when it'll be updated, or should I just start the torrent and hammer the bandwidth of the various hosting sites for the almost 300 not in the torrents?

You don't sound mean. It'll be several months before the torrent's updated, because the plan is to re-release all of the mixes, including the older stuff, with proper tagging (detailed here & here). There's no point in updating a torrent only to replace it relatively soon after (resulting in losing all the seeders). So you can grab the current torrent and single mixes, or just wait it out for the updated versions of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemos Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Honestly the issue would not have happened to me if I had not let my wife sit at the system. I prefer to organize them myself because I have several programs accessing the same libraries. I knew about the ID3 tag update, but was not sure if it was still going. I'll have to start a VM when I get back home and break it again to see which version of windows this happens in. But she let i-Tunes organize the music and it puts all the OCR into a folder named after the album, which broke the files. I'm gonna wait till the torrents are updated, I'ed rather have the updates ID3 tagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think iTunes would be smart enough to not use special characters in album names when creating directories. LOL APPLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That's really odd.

Just gone. And they have a 1 download only policy. (cool thing is, zircon emailed a download to me within 5 seconds of telling him) It's generally bad software all around, I'm not surprised it frukked up on organization.

I had a non-final set I was showing off to a few people who were interested, but I keep working on it every day to finish the last piece of the puzzle, which is the URL field now being OCR artist pages.
